The technique for designing a MOD 10 counter is introduced. Asynchronous inputs of a JK flip-flop are used to clear the counter.

In this animated object, learners examine the proper way to reset a counter instruction in a programmable controller.

Learners observe how to cascade PLC counters to extend the maximum count of one counter.

In this animated activity, learners examine the construction of a binary counter using a JK flip-flop. The ability of the JK flip-flop to "toggle" Q is also viewed.

In this screencast, learners examine the construction of a 7493 IC as mod-2 and mod-8 up-counters. They view how this binary counter can be modified to operate at different modulus counts.

Learners examine the counter-reset function of a programmable controller and how it is used.

In this animated object, learners examine the operation of up-counters and down-counters for a programmable controller. A brief quiz completes the activity.

Learners study how a DC motor generates counterelectromotive force. A short quiz completes the object.

Learners view an animation of a counterbalance valve in operation and examine the valve’s internal structure.

Learners examine the two methods used by programmable logic controllers to perform a counting operation using addition or counter instructions. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this animated object, learners examine how PLC up/down-counters are used to control an automated parking lot gate.

The learner practices Mandarin Chinese in this animated scenario at a fast food counter.

Robotic welding is an increasingly popular tool used in industrial welding applications. Knowing how to program the robot is key. Explore how to improve your programming skills by using if-then-else, calls, unconditional jumps, and counters in this learning activity.

In this learning activity you'll explore the operation of frequency division using several different types of counters.

Students read about the basics of using an indicator.

In this learning activity you'll test your skill at reading indicators.

Learners read how an inductor opposes a current change when it begins to energize and when it begins to de-energize. A short quiz completes the activity.

Learners read how to calculate the MOD number and how it is used.

In this animated object, learners examine how a multiplexer and a demultiplexer work together when their data select lines are connected to the same binary counter.
